I think he said in the OP he was retired but had the FAA tickets.. and that
he had not flown in 15 years.

Nicely explained.

Partly. That explaination is only valid for military pilots that are
currently active. Your post mentions your friend is retired. I believe
he only has 24 months from his discharge to request an FAA certificate
on the basis of his military certifications. After that I believe he
has to start from square one.

Correct.. you can only do it as long as the Form 8 is valid, when I was on
active duty.. it was a 17 month check ride cycle. After that the Form 8
expires and the FSDO will not accept it.

I hope he still has time. That would really be sad for him to lose
that and have to start over again.
